Have been collecting arachnids for about 2.5 years now and decided to get my favorite one out of my collection tattooed on me. This is a Brachypelma Smithi also known as a Mexican Red Knee Tarantula. This is my 2nd tattoo and it is on my right calf. It was done by Aaron Is at Foolish Pride Tattoo in St. Petersburg, Florida, he is also at Manifest Destiny Tattoo in Rome, Italy and travels around various conventions. Mine was done at the Baltimore Tattoo Convention and took about 2 hours.
